Jinder wasn’t popular in India. Did he suffer from low Mumbai rates. I'm mad at myself for laughing at this.

I feel like they do really need to at some point have a big emotional confrontation on the mic between him and Seth and eventually have them reconcile. It's kind of just needed to complete both characters' stories. If I understand you correctly…. … Are you saying they need to finish the story?

Despite being significantly shorter, I was far more annoyed at how long Seth and Gunther’s reigns were than I was with Roman’s.

I'm still saying yes because Cody does absolutely nothing for me as a wrestler.

Seth's reason Cody won, though. Roman had the chair, could have beaten the absolute piss out of Cody and pinned him Mania 17 style. Instead, he let the whole Shield bullshit get in his head again, took a swing at Seth and that was it. I'd argue Seth's more of a made man than ever. Which is fantastic storytelling, too.

… I feel like I've missed something major. Roman although in remission, still takes chemo-pills to keep everything at bay. But I'd imagine that still takes a toll. Ah, yeah, that makes sense. I would like to take this opportunity to give a hearty cry of “f*** cancer”

I remember an interview or something where he was very vocally upset over Cody giving the ‘Mania shot to Rock, so I just assumed it tied into that.

Posted that in the Mania Thread, but my Ex-Wife works in Cancer-Threatment. She is 90% sure he will have to take some major time of. Let's hope not, but it is apparently a realistic possibility. Most important thing is, that the man can keep healthy. … I feel like I've missed something major.

I'm on my second playthrough of the Undisputed My Rise story to do routes I never did the first time.
Boy, that NXT stuff sure happened.

I hit a moment in the Undisputed story that I really didn't care for. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}At WrestleMania, Gigi Dolin beats Becky Lynch for the Women's Championship, you beat Seth to retain the Universal Championship, Gigi comes to the ring for a couple's celebration/taunting while the crowd wants to tear BOTH our heads off
Go back behind the curtain and The Miz... immediately strips Gigi of the title and trades her to RAW to punish you for making those matches yourself?
I'm sorry, what? Miz throws away an act that people will pay money for to see get their asses beat?
My annoyance was tempered slightly by their final conversation.
Gigi says she's not some princess that needs to be avenged, and she's proven she can win the big one and will now do that on RAW, and then in the only time this stupid nickname has ever felt natural, she says, "see you around, Dark Horse"
I can't lie; I was kinda shipping Dolin Horse by the end of their story together.

The cheesy factor enhances it for me. I always have so much fun with these stories. Last years, I didn't mind and I liked the Cole Quinn and Buzz stuff... I really hated the Trey and Red story, Trey was basically too stupid to live, and Red was really unlikable for most of it. Not to mention the whole list thing where they don't even finish half of them was a weird setup. Robotic Arm Samoa Joe is the greatest thing ever though. I will say there was a massive missed opportunity with Trey. Early on, their trainer said Trey might make for a better manager than wrestler, and I was disappointed they didn't go in that direction with him.

I enjoy myrise and the silliness of it tbh. The recurring characters like Cole Quinn and Buzz, there's a bit of lore there. They do make an effort even if it is a bit cheesy sometimes. The cheesy factor enhances it for me. I always have so much fun with these stories.

Really? Huh, things really do move in a circle. youtu.be/zwYbt7zIp8I?si=sHwNoDlt3VzBbUxoYeah, the actor that played Curtis started doing videos about the game and then realized one of the reasons a lot of people even remember or know about the game was from Noah's playthrough and invited him on. Did a couple other videos of them playing the game and semi riffing on it. Pretty interesting stuff actually. Kinda helped Noah get out from under the rock he was living under and consider making videos again. Oh! Thanks for the link. I'll be sure to check it out later.

God that f***ing JewWario rollercoaster was horrifying in real time, Heartbreak to a man taking his own life to uncovering a f***ed up dark underbelly he had created that chain reacted to essentially what Change the Channel became. Legit how is one of the most normal people to come out of this sites lineage a man named Todd in the Shadows who constantly wears a mask over his face?? Whats worse is that Doug knew and still wrote him in spots like walking in with no shirt or as David Bowie from labyrinth where the women stare at his bulge... I have not watched any of Doug Walker's videos since that information came out. I just can't. It's too gross.

I think this is something that must be really hard for someone who is close to Vince to read these things and necessarily accept them as quickly or as totally as someone on the internet who doesnt know Vince and already didnt like him. I'd put money on Vince likely having called Cena since all this came out, and has likely spun him some story about this being a false claim and gold digging etc. I honestly dont know if someone I loved was accused of something and then told me squarely to my face they were innocent or that things were being misconstrued that I would just walk away and condemn them. As such, I agree, I cant just throw Cena under the prison or whatever. However, I can equally respect people who may be disappointed or upset in Cena's response given the genuine need for people to do better at respecting and accepting accusations from abuse survivors. It's a much more black and white situation for most of us, as we arent involved and dont know these people. It must be so confusing, upsetting and head-f***ing to be blunt for those who do actually know these people and may have had (or thought they had) better relationships with them than their own family. this is something I've mentioned only a couple of times on here, I had a former friend who I was friends with from my second/third year in college so from about 1998/99 (I'd cut him out of my life for being a dick in 2009/2010 ish.) who turned out to be a paedophile (he went to court over it, no idea if he spent time in prison or not and I'm not googling to find out.) and was outed for it when he was due in court in 2019-2020 ish. he hid his ways from people he knew the entire time, friends who were closer to him than I was after I actively avoided contact with him due to his dickish behaviour towards me, they had no clue what he was up to either and they had spent time in his house. finding out on facebook knocked me for six, it took a good while for me to get used to the fact the person I thought I knew, I didn't actually know at all. there was a lot of "how did I not notice?" "was there any signs I missed that were there?" "how long was he collecting/making the stuff for (2006 was the earliest they could trace on his electronics.)?" "I had that bastard around my brothers kids a couple of times, did he think of trying anything on with them?" and selfishly "I f***ing hope people don't think I knew anything and didn't report him for it." I felt shame and guilt for not knowing what the sick bastard was doing behind closed doors, and for not being able to see any red flags if there had been any from him. I'm just some random voice on the internet who doesn't have millions of people worldwide paying attention to my every move, anyone who has been connected to vince via wwf/wwe must be going through the same thought process of dealing with the information of the claims against vince, and in cena's case he's not just trying to avoid rocking the wwe boat by saying anything but avoid rocking his hollywood career boat (look at how he had to backtrack to avoid upsetting China over something he said while promoting something and hurting the bottom line of the film company.) john cena when he's in public has to be "on" and thinking about avoiding saying anything that will destroy any future jobs he potentially may be considered for. john cena the wrestling character could say anything and get away with it because it's not what john cena the human being may not believe. throw in that if not for vince and his company, cena would not be who he is today. I hope that it is cena is struggling with finding out just how big a piece of shit vince actually is and not that he honestly believes that it's people just coming after vince for money/revenge/fame. I actually have a similar situation that sent me for a loop, with the former friend of mine being accused of the exact same crime. I try to play it off as a joke, saying this person and oatmeal raisin cookies are the reasons I have trust issues, but in truth, it deeply affected me for a long time.

So is my dumb ass the only one who saw the thread title and was wondering why Drew hated straight people?
Hmm?
Yes?
Okay. I'm going back to bed.

This quote from the Observer summarizes this whole mess: "We’ve been told, as have most insiders, many things that contradict each other so the absolute truth is pretty much impossible to decipher." I am reminded of Game Of Thrones, when Tyrion told each of Cersei's three advisors he was going to betroth Myrcella to three different kingdoms' heirs to find out which one was leaking information to her by seeing which one she yelled at him about.

Meltzer indicating triple threat not in the cards but Roman fighting twice might be: Unless they pull a WrestleMania X and Cody/Rock has another match earlier in the show, this does nothing but make Roman look like a massive idiot for agreeing to two matches in one show.
